Forward by Bob Barney-ThePlainTruth.com – As an owner of a small paint manufacturer, I know better than most the struggles that small businesses are experiencing today, especially in this age of liberalism and pandering to big business at the expense of the family farm and the small family business. We as Americans need to see what big business is – IT IS EVIL, not less evil than BIG GOVERNMENT! In fact the two cannot survive with each other!

Historically, small businesses have been the primary engine of new job
creation in the United States. If the economy was getting healthy, we
would expect to see the number of jobs at new businesses rise. Instead,
we are witnessing just the opposite.
We are told that the economy is supposed to be "recovering", but the
number of "startup jobs" at new businesses has fallen for five years in a
row. According to an analysis of U.S. Department of Labor data
performed by economist Tim Kane,
there were almost 12 startup jobs per 1000 Americans back in the year
2006. By 2011, that figure had fallen to less than 8 startup jobs per
1000 Americans.
